About K5 KRAKEN

K5 KRAKEN is an uncrewed surface platform built around a modular hull, onboard power, autonomous navigation and configurable mission spaces. Its payload architecture supports integration of electro-optical systems, radar, sonar, communications equipment and mission-specific effectors. Remote and supervised-autonomy modes allow the vessel to execute routes, maintain station and operate as part of a distributed maritime formation under human oversight.

Kraken configures the craft for missions including surveillance, surface warfare, anti-submarine operations, screening and electronic or communications support. Open interfaces connect payloads and autonomy software with customer command systems and tactical networks. The platform is delivered as a configurable defence capability with associated control, integration, training and sustainment services.
